– UConn women’s head coach Gen Auriemma wants the NCAA to lower the rim height in the women’s game. He believes that a lower rim would help increase offensive productivity, which would make the game more entertaining. I tend to agree with coach Auriemma on this. Plus, the ball is smaller and the 3-point line is closer

– Indiana and Kentucky aren’t going to be playing each other in a home-and-home series any time soon. But Indiana and Louisville might be able to fill the void. I think the general public would approve of that. We like to see historical non-conference powers do battle on home and away gyms. Ballrooms in Cancun and San Juan just won’t cut it anymore
